Opel Tigra A
Well about this car I can say a lot since I own it right now. It's a little great car and very practical.
The only problem is that the back seats are hard and you keep hitting your head off the Rear Windscreen if you're taller than 140cm. You can say that the one in the picture is mine since everything is the same, exhaust, color, rims, just the registration plate and the little sticker there. It's actually a good car and you get used to it fast. It has a flexible engine (What it makes is that the car when on low RPM's and you hammer your foot down it gives you a very good acceleration) It does 100km/h in 8-10 seconds depending on shift times and its top speed I ever got to was 193 km/h and it's the 1.4l engine in comparison to the 1.6l it should be at least 200 km/h.It has Disc brakes on the front and Drums on the back so it stops from 100 to 0 in 40-50m. It's cheap, I got it for €550 but it has a hole in the exhaust and I will need to replace it, but the car is perfectly drivable. It has hard suspension so it will corner good and will be stable at high speeds, just watch out at speed bumps, you don't want to go more than 20 km/h before driving over them. If you change the oil and add a special fluid into your fuel tank, you can buy it in Tesco's for €20. It should give extra 5-10 HP but the way the car will work will be a lot better and the acceleration will be better. When I'll be doing a project car I'll be updating the progress on the blog. The car's Red Line is at 5,000 RPM, the car's boot is bigger than the engine bay probably so it is very practical for the small size of it's so stay tuned for updates on my tune!
